NH Electric Co-op workers to vote on contract

PLYMOUTH, N.H. -- A utility that provides electricity to 83,000 customers in 115 New Hampshire communities is bracing for a possible strike by the union representing lineworkers and other jobs.

The New Hampshire Electric Cooperative and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local have been bargaining since April. Workers' five-year contract ended Sept. 30. Union members are scheduled to vote on a contract offer Friday.
